Oral Contraceptives Risks

Hormonal contraceptives are medication that women take which contain hormones (such as oestrogen and progesterone) to prevent pregnancies. These medication come with many benefits, but can present with 
some small risks. It is important to be aware of these risks. The risks differ depending on the type of contraceptive you are on.

There are two types of oral contraceptives, if you are not sure which type you are on please consult your Pharmacist or Clinical Professional

Combined oral contraceptives (COC) risks

  • Increased risk of venous thromboembolism (blood clot), this can include increased risk of heart attack and stroke. If you have any history of heart conditions, COC may be contraindicated.
  • Small increased risk of breast and cervical cancer (if taking longer then 5 years), which reduces with time after stopping COC.

Progesterone-only pill (POP) risks

  • Some women get ovarian cysts (fluid-filled lesion), which can present with pelvic pain.
  • Small increased risk of breast cancer, which reduces with time after stopping POP.
  • If you do become pregnant while on the POP there is an increased risk of ectopic pregnancy
